Hong Kong

Overview Among its nearly 300,000 residents, the community of Tin Shui Wai is called the 'city of sadness' for its high rate of unemployment, suicides, and spousal and child abuse. About 15 years ago, it began a transformation into an urban town with high-rise buildings as tall as 50+ stories.  Many families with low income moved to this new town, including a considerable number of single parents and people with little education or with mental health problems.  There are few job opportunities, so many residents either depend on government aid or must travel long distances to their work.

Helping the Children

In early 2008, Kids Alive partnered with The Hong Kong Student Aid Society Primary School to launch an after-school academic guidance project for 30 - 40 students who were academically below average. Kids Alive also provided a 4-week summer class for these students, consisting of fun, study and religious activities. There now are about 90 students from grades one to six in the project.

Kids Alive was then invited to also help students at the Christian Alliance S Y Y Memorial Primary School in Tin Shui Wai.  There are about 90 students with educational difficulties that are now being given academic guidance, snacks and instruction in the Christian faith, along with opportunities to sing hymns and pray.  Kids Alive programs in Hong Kong are managed and supported by regional staff.
